Let’s understand real quick how it’s so so horrible especially now !! Forget what it does to the skin sagging lines, wrinkles thinning skin that papery thin skin your collagen level decreases, and the fact it causes extreme inflammation in the body which is a lead cause of chronic diseases like heart diseases, arthritis cancer, and the list are endless.
So when you consume too much sugar your glucose levels rise in the blood which the body cannot quickly utilize therefore leading to pro-inflammatory cytokines which are the lead cause of all the chronic diseases which I just mentioned above.
Now how it’s related to our immunity that’s what’s most important right now! It makes the white blood cells ability to destroy microbes weaker and that weakens our immune system !!! So that means you can easily catch a cold or virus.
Now The fun part we all love sweets what we can do to curb these sweet tooth cravings!
My top healthy sugar substitutes-
-Coconut palm sugar ( this does not spike the glucose that much )
-Of course natural sweetener like trivia stevia, monk fruit sweetener
-Coconut nectar is really great
-Maple syrup has some macronutrients ( but don’t do too much of it ) get the organic version of course
-And raw or Manuka honey, of course, is so delicious
-Jaggery
-For baking swerve is great (erythritol)
There are other things you can do like add CINAMON to your lattes or tea cinnamon it tricks your body into thinking you’ve had sugar. So much research on it on how it helps control sugar cravings and balance glucose levels. It’s so delicious and smells divine of course.
Fenugreek methi. Seeds do the same as well so good for diabetic patients
-Sometimes you could just try drinking a glass of water or like a fruity flavor green tea with some cinnamon and pumpkin spice or eat a date and apricots or just a fruit.
-72 percent above dark chocolate
-Fruit smoothies
Finally, eat more protein and good fats and rich fiber diet you’ll be fuller for longer and stay away from simple carbs only have complex carbs. Simple carbs do the same they give you that high and then you get a crash and crave more of it we just tend to crave for the high. It’s a whole cycle one bad thing leading to another. Be creative guys on how you can stay away from consuming refined sugar. health is everything !!! However, don’t refrain from eating a slice of cake or some sweets once in a while. Mindful indulgence.
Lastly cannot stress enough that you need to away from Artificial sugars !!! And products that say sugar-free. Diet Coke the biggest deal-breaker they trigger your brain to
Consume more sugar and store fat. It’s a whole science let’s not get all nerdy in this video.
Stay safe and healthy.
